I know some scientists clame that there is a connection between consumtion of animal proteins and autoimmune diseases, and I have read some scientific papers on this, however, I've only found short-time studies. I have also heard from reumatologists that a drastic change in diet can give a similar effect on the diseases as antibiotics and chemo, witch also helps because the natural flora in our intestines will be changed in all cases. I would therefore like to know if anyone here knows about any long time studies (lasting more than 3 months, so that the micro-flora in the intestines is stable again) on autoimmune diseases and animal products?

But it would be hard to do a long-term study on something that triggers the disease, especially a disease that happens in infancy and childhood. But perhaps you mean looking at dietary habits among people who already have autoimmune diseases. If so, there are many studies referenced on these two pages for arthritis and MS. You could look to see the length of them with a little Google or Pubmed.com research. Other disease-states can be found on NutritionMD.org. Look at the Health Care Provider's section to see the studies referenced. http://www.nutritionmd.org/health_care_providers/bone_joint_diseases/arthritis_nutrition.html http://www.nutritionmd.org/health_care_providers/neurology/ms_nutrition.html Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education
